“If you're Black or Asian and you want to be a country artist and hopefully have a no. 1 record, you can. I somehow did it.”

“As long as you work hard, you're consistent, show up every day and you're good to people, there are tons of opportunity no matter what your career might be.”

“It's our job, just as humans, to have a platform and find ways to share it and create other opportunities for other artists.”

“Growing up in Texas, I was already dealing with the fact that I didn't even know I was Asian until a certain age. I just was informed about it in a somewhat negative way by my peers. And that immediately put me into that mindset where I felt very othered. My safety always felt like it wasn't something that I could consider a given.”

“Against Japan and any Asian teams, we've had good results, so I would say that history proves we are the best Asian team.”

“I have been waiting around to get the right script and the right director. For example, in the past, if a Hollywood director came to me with a script and wanted me to play a character, and she was a stereotypical Asian woman who gets into a fight and gets killed off quickly, that didn't seem to have much interest for me.”
